I'm not going to do much gardening this season.  Maybe just a few plants here and there to satisfy my itch.  What I'd like to do first is get to know my garden.  I'd like to understand the lay of the land, the flow of runoff.  I want to know if I've got full shade or dappled in my shade gardens.  What plants are thriving, which can I throw away.  You know, that kind of thinking.  So I'm surveying my yard and I've noticed several varieties of mushrooms in my backyard.  If you all know what they are, please tell me.  I can look online of course and I'll do that later when I feel like it.

I didn't know you had a new blog. Cool!

I do much better with the garden in my head, too. I think it's a good idea to wait before going into a planting frenzy. Container gardening works well for satisfying the itch. I always planted perennials in my containers and moved them in during the winter when it got too cold. But in Georgia you might not have that problem.

Good luck...I'll keep looking in on your progress!
